I did have fun, Gurano - Thanks!  Was feelin' a little Irish yesterday, don'tcha know....

What a lovely tune, Plinka! I could sing this to my daughter before bedtime... I think that the intrumentation is very nice, and I like the synth there.  Very soothing, a sweet little melody and a nice message.  I don't know if this is something that bothers people on KR, but... I belong to another music forum and the people there would not want to hear "mouth sounds" (like a small click when you open your mouth to sing).  They would advise you to cut them out of the vocal track.  Me, I don't mind so much... but it's just something I noticed a tiny bit.  Hope you don't mind me saying so.

hahaha, oh my god.. I was wondering how my comment would look like in english if I used google translate and... I laughed out loud! It looks as I´m drunk, I'm not

Asa, Your comment is so funny because you are not the only one.... You ALL sound drunk through the translators!   

Jag tvivlar starkt att jag låter bättre än du, men, så var inte oroa dig för det. Det är bra att jag är kreativ och kan oftast linda mig runt konstiga sätt översättarna ordet saker!

Tack for listening - I haven't had a chance to sing like that in a looooong time. 

Im so sorry that I don't know Swedish, but so many of you seem to speak English very well... Please forgive me and know that I *do* speak a second language.  It just isn't Swedish... but it does start with an "S" (at least it does in English).

Anyway.  I came to this forum at the suggestion of a friend from another music form - he and I had collaborated on a song, which he then posted here for comments.  It was his idea that I join KR - so that I could say a proper "Thank you" to those who had commented.  By the time I signed in, I'd already been nicknamed "Bacon McMuffin, or whatever her name is"... and "Bacon" seemed as good a username as any. 

I may not post much of my own music here - I'm a singer and not a great composer or sound engineer - but I am enjoying the quality of music I've heard here.  It is hard for me to translate every page - it's a pretty s-l-o-w process - but I do try to listen and make comments where I can. 

Thanks for letting me listen.....

I have listened to both versions, and Freddy's mix is an improvement.  But I still think it's too much treble - I only wish I was better at mixing to be able to say what to do about it!  But, I'm just a singer.... and from that perspective, I DO like the song.  I agree!  Feels like Little Stevie (Bruce SPringsteen's band) is playing on it!  Which is fine in my book.  Me being an American girl and all that... 

I can't understand a word of it... but it's lovely.  The piano work is excellent and it just feels nice to listen.  Maybe not like other Chrome songs I've heard, but why should it be?  Nice work on this - I'll keep an eye out for the Translation!   

Maybe a *little* "Oh, Happy Day" (how is that you know so many American folk songs?  I wouldn't think that this one would be known in Sweden), but that's okay.  I WISH I could play keys like that!  Nice GROWL on the vox, there, Mikael! Is this about the Alligator, then?  English crit... Should be "Spend my nights in the woodS"  Just a thought.  You let me know if you want some choral ooohs and ahhs on there....

I just hope no one will ever translate what emulatorkattgitarrsolo means in english. I still van put on a brave face in front of one person in this forum 

All that I need is a translation for "cat" or "katt" as it was also written....    Oh, and don't worry about using "bad" language.  I'm not easily offended in English or in Swedish.

I'm not sure, but my foot started bouncing up and down trying to dance....

(More bass/low end?)

Hi Dividend - I'm trying to "give back" to the forum after so many people made comments on the song I did with EQ... And it seems that you are the first in line. 

I was not expecting the guitars to come in!  That was the first of many surprises - so many textures developing here, a lot to take in, but you seem to have brought it together nicely.  Very "Film Score"... Something "sci-fi/end of the world with the hope of rebirth" kind of thing... and nicely executed.  I'm still a beginner when it comes to mixing, so I can't really help you there (and it seems you are mostly finished with this, anyway)... but I did notice some possible distortion near 3:12 with a swelling of the synths - and then again when the same swell happens toward the end.  But!  I was listening with my headphones (they aren't the best, but not cheap, either), so it may have been my headphones and not the music...

Maria sent me a link to her myspace, and I listened to a couple of pieces there that the two of you collaborated on.... Very nice and interesting work!

Sorry I don't have more constructive things to say - I'm "just a singer!" - But I do like a variety of styles and used to be a dj....

Thank you all for your kind comments - It is so much fun to know that someone is listening to me so far away! 

When I use my translator, the translated page is not logged in to the forum... So, to participate and be logged in, I have to paste text back and forth in another translation engine... so forgive me if I don't respond to every comment.  It's quite difficult, not even knowing which button to click to respond (but I think I have it now)!

EQ suggested that I post my work here as well.  I'm not certain that I really should.  Not being a Swedish speaker, I don't know that I would be a great addition to the forum, but maybe.... I regularly participate in the Cakewalk Sonar Songs Forum, and I know that no one wants to listen to someone who doesn't make good comments on other people's music.  But if you don't mind if I'm not quite as active as the rest of you, maybe I will.
